How Internet dependent has Windows become?

Believe it or not, there are significant numbers of computer users who do not require nor want to connect some or all of their PCs to the Internet. It seems to me that Windows has become an OS that cannot be installed on a PC unless it has Internet access at the time of install - because half the OS must be downloaded and is not present on any installation media, and it requires the installer/user to enter an online account.

Computers are not only used for online activities, though to read many PC related articles you would be forgiven for believing that a computer is a device used only for playing games and web-based activities.
